Guess what? She is gonna sue. The age of no personal responsibility.

BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD)- Tessica Brown went viral on Instagram after she posted a video about, in her words, a “bad idea” she made after using an industrial spray adhesive to hold down her hairstyle.

Brown posted to her Instagram on Feb. 3rd, informing her followers and many others about what happened to her hair after she sprayed heavy duty Gorilla Glue adhesive spray in her hair because she ran out of her usual hairspray, Got2B glued hairspray.

She says her hair has been stuck in the hairstyle shown in the video for a month.

“I didn’t have anymore Got2B hairspray so I used this, gorilla glue spray, bad idea, my hair don’t move, I’ve washed my hair 15 times and it don’t move,” Brown said in the video.

On Feb. 6, Brown posted on her Instagram page a picture of St. Bernard’s Hospital in Chalmette, La, where she went in hopes of getting the hardened adhesive removed from her hair. Brown spent 22 hours in the emergency room. Healthcare workers used acetone and sterile water to loosen the adhesive, which burned her scalp and hardened moments later.



Gorilla Glue released a statement via Instagram regarding Brown’s experience using their product as an alternate for hairspray. They emphasized that the spray adhesive states on the warning label to “not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.”

Her video caught the attention of many celebrities who reposted her video and also followed her Instagram page to receive updates on her journey to adhesive free hair.

Brown started a Go-Fund me page that has exceeded the $1500 goal for help towards her medical expenses.

After an unsuccessful experience in the emergency room, she is now looking into suing the adhesive company alleging that the labels on their products are misleading.

Well, hair isn't skin so she did follow the warning instructions!

Gorilla should sue her for mis-use of their product and attempting to destroy their reputation.

Needs to be a penalty for stupid.

Un-fricken-believable.

“I’ve washed it 15 times and it don’t move.” Sounds like a Gorilla Glue endorsement.

Wtf? You imbecile. Suck it up and go Ripley from Alien 3. Instead you rack up thousands on a futile trip to the emergency room? There is only one option here. Shave your stupid head

Thinking of how that case might be handled in court, I was reminded of my uncle trying to help some people, one person didn't like the outcome, filed a federal lawsuit. It got to court. In the middle of the plaintiff atty's opening arguments the judge hit the gavel, called the atty to the bench "you mean to tell me that's what this case is about, case closed, you lose, and, and, you will never set foot in my courtroom again.

Now that it is impregnated with industrial adhesive, 'just shaving her head' won't be quite as simple as it sounds.

It's probably flammable as hell too.

Unfortunately, thousands of kids will be trying this next in the "gorilla glue challenge."

It will take a lot of tide pods to remove the glue.

And the kids.

I thought this was for sure fake when I first saw it. There’s just not enough bottle space for enough warnings to protect every idiot from themselves.

Oh no, the opposite. They should use this story as advertising! I’d have never thought the product would be so bas ass it could fix a hairdoo in place for over a month despite all the attempts to remove it!

Im sure it would meet all of my adhesive needs!

And if we had 'real' judges and a 'real' legal system, the judge hearing this BS would immediately throw out the case, assess legal costs against Tessica and her attorney, and then formally reprimand her attorney for even bringing such a case. Tessica is....wait for it....a retard.

If I were a judge, I'd hear the case. And I'd bring popcorn.

She’s obviously a moron, but I’m more amazed at the hospital allowing her to spend nearly a day taking up space in the ER. Send her home and tell her it will grow out in a few months. And what moron level medical staff tried to use acetone on her scalp? Of course it burned!

Gorilla Glue couldn't possibly use this for an actual advertisement, but I bet they will see a nice sales bump from the unintended press of this case. If I were an executive there, I would be rather happy at the moment.

They probably did that because acetone dissolves
